  1. Re: A chromium based browser to download a chromiu on Microsoft Is Embracing Chromium, Bringing Edge To Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac · · Score: 1

    Privacy would be the obvious selling point.

  2. MS platform compatibility solved by Google on Microsoft Is Embracing Chromium, Bringing Edge To Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac · · Score: 1

    I think it's hilarious that by switching to Google technology, MS's new software will run on more MS platforms.

  3. And you know you were paying month by month for the whole month. Stop making excuses for willfully ignorant consumers who refuse to be responsible for their own actions.

    Yeah. You've proved your point. Cause no one ever drove drunk before Teslas were around, so this guy must have only done so because he obviously thought it was cool to get in and take a nap.

    Doesn't sound smart to let robots handle hazardous materials around people. Someone fucked up, and it's not just the robot.

    Because the gut biomes you develop are regional and because there are genetic differences in the way we are able to process certain proteins, etc. In addition, there are complementary effects in a whole diet which are oftentimes not met (think of the French concept of a digestif). It's one of the reasons why travelers often experience illness.

    He was talking about tradesmen and craftsmen who sold to the miners. My point was that it ultimately ended up with the bankers.

  8. Re: So what's next after Kubernetes? on Kubernetes' First Major Security Hole Discovered (zdnet.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I think it mostly stems from lazy/bad app developers who can't figure out how to install their own app on anything but the one machine it was written on. Their answer is to add the entire OS install as a dependency rather than figure out how security or configuration works. After the whole industry switched from just requiring install dependencies to requiring entire running system snapshots to get anything working, tools like kubernetes were created to address the problems of their own creations.

  9. Re: You see police upset about strong encryption & on Qualcomm Announces the Snapdragon 855 and Its New Under-display Fingerprint Sensor (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    That's not why at all. It's because the police can just grab your hand and unlock your phone with fingerprint unlock.

    Any decent web developer never makes browser specific pages. That's just dumb.

  11. Open source is no more "communist" than charity is. And charity is very much a "capitalist" ideal as it is predicated on wealth stratification. Some people have some form of capital and share it.

  12. Don't support this shit. Not only should you not buy games through this travesty of an app store, but you should stop buying anything from Epic.

    I generally associate Tumblr with softcore porn. Like suicide girls with fewer tattoos. Wonder what else it's used for...

    Not really. Auto-pilot in its original context was used to keep a plane flying straight and on course. That's it. No one ever sent out a plane without a human pilot or thought that it was a good idea to put pilots in the cockpit who were drunk or tired. Auto-pilot is the perfect designation for the Tesla feature.

    Also, as an etymological sidenote, automobiles were not "auto" "mobile" until the advent of cruise control, but no one had an issue with calling it auto just because a human still pushed the pedal.

  15. Launching a rocket is easy as fuck. Getting to go where you want it to is the hard part.

  16. The difference is once you train one Tesla, every new Tesla pops off the line with the new training. Three year olds require years of training for each one that comes off the line

  17. If you've been paying a monthly service fee for a few years, you have clearly demonstrated the issue is not with the product or the legitimacy of the business.

    The great thing about spending money on students is that your costs go down with enrollment. When you spend it on football and secretaries, not so much.

    Yes and no. Bitcoin bubbles are at a scale that dwarfs other asset bubbles. The bubbles are much frothier.

    750,000 pounds of gold was found, which probably went directly to the banking cartels through lending to gold rush businesses, etc. A hundred years later, the families of the guys who sold tools are middle class Americans, and the banks have profited immensely off the gold.

    Gold Roman coins have pretty much preserved their value. A gold coin was worth a fair amount to a Roman who likely lived on what we refer to now as "a dollar a day". That same gold coin is worth at least $40-50 today. Without getting into difficult to find detail, the back of the napkin says Roman currency has stood the test of time.

    Ours won't.
